The force transducer must be protected against
chemicals that could attack the steel.
With stainless steel force transducers, note that acids
and all materials which release ions will in general also
attack stainless steels and their welded seams. Should
there be any corrosion, this could cause the force
transducer to fail. In this case, appropriate protective
measures must be implemented.
5.3
Deposits
Dust, dirt and other foreign matter must not be allowed to
accumulate sufficiently to divert some of the measuring
force around the force transducer, thus invalidating the
measured value. (Force shunt). The relevant areas are
marked in Fig. 5.1.
Fig. 5.1
Deposits must not be allowed to form on the fine
hatched area, as this could cause a force shunt.
